no they didn't, they tried to bribe him it's better than beating him and making him FEAR it more.

@@jhutatiacadera I never said anything about beating him. There are other ways out there to help a horse work through his issues. By allowing him to go back in the barn they reinforced in his brain the fact that if he acts up like he did then he doesn't have to go into the trailer

I only saw 8

And some aromatic scented candles and soft music in the background maybe?

@@onepup-pr3yl 😂 🐎 🕯️

The 'darkness' didn't faze the first three. What if it a dull, dark, overcast day, what then ??🤔

@@donettamckenzie194 Not all horses are the same. The horse is a pray animal. Some are more nervous than others. To not be able to clearly see where it was going was enough to put this one off. [horses have bad frontal vision]The others were perhaps older, more experienced, knew they were going back to their stables for a feed, knew the horse box well ect.

Urgh. do NOT use a bit or this method. First of all it is abusive, second many horses were harmed due to this shit when fighting this. Simply no. Give the soldiers training in loading horses. All you need is ONE well-educated soldier that knows how to load a horse. Lunges are for beginner riders and are not reliable - good equestrians are though. Use a ground whip (like a FLECK, not a riding whip which will be both too short and harmful, and we do need the string attached to gently touch with the string, not the stick), take the horse aside from the trainer. Stand in front of the horse. Gently and softly (!) tip the horse on top of its croup, where there is a trigger point that will result in the horse stepping forward. Reward the horse, give confirmation, double check and try again 2-3 times. Should work nicely. Then go towards the trailer. Always keep calm. Correct the horse gently if it tries to break, turn or lead to a side. It is okay if the horse goes to a halt. Once the horse is at halt and straight in front of the trailer, softly tip the trigger point again. If the horse does a step forward, reward, it may go as many steps as it likes, but if it tries to change direction, stop and gently correct. The horse may back down, gently follow, but do not let it turn away, correct it then. The horse will soon learn that the sooner it gets in the trailer, the sooner it gets to it. Repeat until the horse is in the trailer. Do not stop until the horse is in the trailer. First time may take minutes (or more, if the horse is old and the behavior was enforced in the past), but the next times will get fast very soon :D Most important lesson is for the rider to stay calm and confident. Works with every horse apart from those that brutally attack humans. Oh. And never use food as reward until the horse is successfully loaded in the trailer. The food is jackpot, verbal confirmation is key. Oh. And never ever use force unless the horse uses force against you.

A tiny bit of patience? - they tried 9 times!

@@adrianwright8685 yes but these soldiers have absolutely no clue about how to handle horses. They behaved like beginner riders, if at all. This horse would probably go in at once with a professional.

@@fragdeinpferd Well I believe you - but not surprising: they are after all soldiers primarily and horses don't play a big part in modern day warfare!

@@adrianwright8685 True, even though I am curious why they still have them then.

@@fragdeinpferd It's purely ceremonial - I doubt if more than a very small number of soldiers get to ride a horse

Definitely, from South Africa 🇿🇦 😅

Is there no light in the trailer? We had mules years ago, and they resisted going into a gaping black hole; of course mules are not horses!

No, some of us are wondering why they don’t have an easy-loader or the modern equivalent! 😂

@liliastennant1074, not me. I’m 😂because the horse won out

I’m right there with them. Been there, done that and miss riding and taking care of horses❤️❤️❤️

Well you are watching it as well? At least it shows that the Guards are patient with the horse he wasn't bullied into going in which is great to see. They will get him in another way. If only the horse knew where he was going I'm sure he'd have jumped in all those fields with luscious green pastures to frollick about in without a care Horsie heaven

@@jade7249that is if they were going to take the horses on vacation. Could have been going down the street to the other stables

I was thinking the same thing!

The soldiers need some training on how to load a horse into a horse box..wrong setting, too many people around.this beautiful horse was anxious and frightened..who wouldn't be in that situation.? Come on guys get your act together..this was painful to witness.

He’s a gelding.

@@Bandomemeone can still dream…

31:10 bucket rattled here! Didn't work.

​​@@adrianwright8685some mints or other treats might have though.

Many of the Queens horses have met Monty. Perhaps the gents working with the horses need to as well.

Patting him on the rump as he approached just sent him the signal to stop. He will go back to Hyde Park with a Trooper on his back instead of riding in a nice warm horse trailer.

EXACTLY what I was wondering! But, Ormonde would be biting them if it was him 😂😂

NOT Ormonde.

Is not Ormonde

It can either walk in like it should or have a winch and drag it in on its knees, a horse like that can't be allowed to call the shots, there is no good reason for it not to load up like it should.

WHY was all the loading done in acramped are with an audience of shouting people, kids playing etc ???

Rong. You don't want to start a problem by putting feed on the ramp. He will want feed Everytime he is to be loaded. You just don't cave to their resisting to load. They are like children and who is the most persistent. Why they do that? Especially since he probably has loaded easy. They have good days and bad ones. You have to be in command. Not the horse.

@@user-rm4rn1sf4g In my opinion, after a lifetime with horses. This horse did not want to enter a dark space. Horses frontal vision is not good. If food was dropped on the ramp for him to pick up, he would see forward more clearly and probably go in. Also it was not the occasion for a fight, with the public all round.

@@user-or8gq5ux4qthis horse has been transported in this very truck many times and has never minded the “dark space before. He was just having a bad day - and sharing it with others!

Parking in the middle of such a wide-open space and headed straight into the sunlight was a mistake imo before they re got the horse out of the stable, I know that it’s hard with so many gawkers around making noise and getting in the way but they need to park alongside something solid to reinforce the optics of the ramp gates. Also for whatever reason and having watched this performance before (not this one as yet!) the Troopers seem to have been taught to load on one side of the ramp, imo aiming the horse at the middle works better, they feel safer. I don’t mind offering a little food on occasion but I wouldn’t make a habit of it and certainly wouldn’t put it on the ramp, especially when other horses are travelling, they’ll all start refusing to move. I’d take the horse somewhere quiet when time isn’t as much of an issue and practice. Failing all else use an easy-loader. Edit. Forgot to mention, make sure that the travel boots fit snugly but not tightly, too many have saggy Velcro and end up like Norah Batty’s Stockings, they don’t like things flapping around their legs, I put mine on right next to the box and straight on, not walk from the stables with them slipping ever further down the legs. Finally, move the circus audience out of sight and out of earshot, they’re a pita. Edit 2. I’ve watched it and want to add that keep taking him in and out is just adding to the problem as is giving him too long a run-up, he has time to make up his mind to play up.

Who or what is a ‘Royal Cavalry Guard?!’

Perhaps he has a bad experience being loaded on a truck. It only takes one time!

You are a hero! Now let us alone

In which case it should not have been loaded in front of an audience!! Also, handlers of horses are obliged to wear head protection as horse can react at any given time to it's surroundings. Evry owner of a horse wears head protection when leading a horse.

Thank you, I was looking for this comment. Everytime the camera was being panned around the speed of that motion was really hurting my eyes and I had to look away.

Oh yeah great! So the whole days schedule goes up the creek?! It’s the army not a church picnic.

The horses are always treated with love and care! He obviously didn't want to go. I wonder if he has some MULE in him or stubborn as 😂 ❤❤❤❤

The horse is not stubborn he is scared to go in to the truck he feels something bad will happen to him leave him alone

@@dilhariwanig ‘leave him alone?!’ Hardly practical advice in the heart of London, we’ve had our fill of loose horses lately thank you.

Oh, you noticed? If a horse won't do what it's told - that's that. Horse goes back to the stables until it's time for his next appearance.

@@lynnelevett4524 I was not speaking of that particular horse. Just that the first horses have to wait so long before the next one comes out

@@andacochran8703 like everything else these days, limited resources leads to limited manpower, maybe you could volunteer.

It's got nothing to do with practice, if a horse doesn't want to load it won't load, no matter how much practice you give it.

A real KAREN!! 😂

The King’s Guard don’t load horses at all to my knowledge since they are infantry and only the officers ride. The King’s Life Guard on the other hand do it all the time. This is not a ‘trailer’ I can’t see the sides but it’s usually an Oakley Horsebox, the best-built, safest and most comfortable box in the U.K. if not the world.

​@@medic1627Wrong. My horse was poor at loading. Practice helped.

Why poor horse??

Why the idiotic human??!!!

Poor horse my derrière, they’re like kids, just like to play up from time to time.
